whom I shall be very glad to see if he brings me news of you, and has time, and above all, takes me as I am I am not in these days very rewarding to visitors—so little so in fact that I am obliged to manage to have almost none at all, and haven't for a long time been able to exercise the least hospitality T h e point is, however, that hearing from you does me a world of good—weeks and weeks of all this latter difficult time, ever since I have been in [Dr.] Des Vœux's hands, having somehow, and doubtless largely by my own fault, represented a sad lapse of communication with your Mother and Harry I say by my own fault, because I doubtless might have written more—at the same time that my poor old state has made writing very difficult, and yet has, withal filled me with a kind of morbid desire to be, consolingly, in touch with you Some ten days ago, or perhaps it was only a week, I could stand the great void of the post no longer, and cabled suppliantly to Harry to 432 December 1915 cable me back a few words that I could kind of try to go on with This he at once blessedly did, and more will now doubtless come, though it hasn't done so yet, save indeed to this happy extent of your news, which is so interesting and illuminating I learn by it for the first time what you are doing in Cincinnati, and very remarkable and valiant does it seem—if the inspiration and the reward to sustain you through those aspects of it which must sometimes, in their multiplication of bad cases, bad specimens, hopeless subjects etc., rather minister to doubt Likewise I groan over your doom of having been fitted out with a kind of practical equivalent to M.P —similarly depressing, I fear, even though spotted with different spots How they grow on you, as it were; I don't mean the spots, but the spotted and the inconvertibles themselves; with the big reservoir of them, that seems to surround you, to draw upon I can quite imagine what you mean by the panting freshness and readiness of such an American community as that, with its desire for the public good and the energy of its contribution to the same, of which you have become so brave an agent It's all a good bit bewildering seen from here—where, however, God knows, our own bewilderments are not wanting I shan't attempt to speak of these now—and the sign of the wondrous in yours, as it most strikes me, is such a fact as that F Duveneck is at this time of day still being "lionised"; anything there may have been to lionise him for goes back into such an antediluvian past His only good work was done in his very few first years, nearly fifty of these ago—at least the long interval since has always looked like a deadly desert I daresay, however, in fact I must often have heard, that he has flourished at Cincinnati during a large part of that time as an excellent teacher so it's doubtless all right—and it isn't of him I dreamed of writing you There is no good in my trying to go on without allowing to you that I am having difficult days, and weeks, and even months,—for only on that basis can I really send you any coherent news I am having a troubled, new heart-condition, but it is being very well taken care of by Des Vœux, and I get, and evidently shall get, a good deal of relief One feels very abject, at our pitch of life and public pain, in the midst of the huge tremendous things that press upon us, to have disqualifying personal and physical troubles; or I should, at least, if I weren't so ancient and for a long time past so éprouvé My greatest épreuve just now, alas, by which I mean very much for all these past months, 433 December though under great present aggravation, is the fact of my almost impossibility of sleep; which has me for the moment in its clutches Take in consideration for this letter—written in the only way I can write now, or shall ever, I fear, write again—that I this A.M left my bed at 8:30, unable to stick it out longer, after not having closed my eyes the whole blessed night, from the moment I first propped myself up there on my pillows, and that this has followed upon a series of nights different only by a little I don't tell you this for dreariness, but more, rather, to show you how I bear it than how I don't (Des Vœux promises me improvement as to that, but it doesn't come yet.) A n d the great thing I want above all to say to you is that to have heard you would like so much to come out to me moves me deeply and gratefully, and that one of these months I shall intensely and rejoicingly welcome you and clutch you and keep you Only we must wait for that, wait for some less heavy and horrible time The idea of your dreaming of anything of the sort in these actual conditions simply sickens and flattens me out; therefore stick to your present noble work and feel that your actual right mission I shall keep afloat here successfully, I feel, with the good help I get; counting Des Vœux, that is, and also counting my admirable household, in which I venture to include Miss Bosanquet, as wonderfully helpful I have definitely now got Burgess back—not discharged, but on indefinite and renewable leave, and with his army pay of course stopped; and I should be utterly unable to get on without him, as his service is a matter of any and every hour, and his devotion boundless and most touching I fear I see none of your old friends with the exception, once in a while, of Fanny P[rothero]; all social life has gone to smash; nothing exists but the huge enormity George Prothero is a haggard hero of labour and courage, and she as wonderful as ever in her indefatigability But it's all applied now to the general situation—save that she'll be intensely interested to hear about you I rejoice unspeakably that your Mother has gone on to be with Harry, and I live in the deferred hope of a New York, in default of a Cambridge, letter from her Let me say that what you wrote from California must really all have come—only it was difficult, all the summer long, to make the proper recognitions Your photographs of the San Francisco house perfectly reached me, and were as interesting as possible, so that I am horrified that I didn't, and couldn't, tell you so But this is all now—save that I am extremely 434 December glad that Aleck, bless him, wasn't able to carry out that Red Cross idea The difficulties for Neutrals in France now are overwhelming— but the pen drops from my hand!
